The following album was bought to my attention on FB last night in which picture evidence shows of a Gurdwara called Guru Gobind Singh Ji Sikh Temple with a party hall within the complex serving meat and alcohol at a party.

Can anyone confirm any more details - thanks

I've tried to upload pics here but says the following

Error The server returned an error during upload

Found anything?

The pictures are of a hall next to the Gurudwara in Sunderland, but without qualifying, it is easy to think they are the one and same building or linked - photos were obviously taken to rake up an old contraversy that the committee heeded when they realised that having the buildings connected and run by the same people was inappropriate.

The hall is a seperate building from the Gurudwara - there was some contraversy in the past when a doorway connected the two buildings via a corridor, but this has been sealed off.

The hall has a seperate committee running it.

There is a seperate car park for the hall and no one should traverse the gurudwara grounds to get to/ from the hall in such circumstances.

Bhul chuk muaf - hopefully this seals the issue.

SO if you walk 20feet away from the Gurdwara you are saying its "not so bad"? or "ok"?????????????? blink.gif

lol the singh sabha gurdwara in southall has a pub opposite it (glassy junction) less then 20 ft away. no1 says anything about that.

Unless they own the pub, its irrelevant. Most Gurdwaray in UK have a pub located only a few steps away.

The point is the Gurdwara should not be using any part of their owned / rented property (including community centres etc) for the purpose of anti-gurmat activities including, meat and alcohol. This was reiterated in the sandesh issued from Akaal Takht Sahib 2006. I think a copy can be found on the forum in another section.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
